   Get someone to sit in the car,then take a block of wood place it on a trolley jack.Slip it under the door & GENTLY jack it up,be careful though.

   You cant be serious? That will surely bend the door/hinges.

   thats the only way it can be done other than buying another door as they arent adjustable, don't do it right on the bottom of the door though or it will end up bent try and use the inside part

   you need to ask why it sagged in the first place. probably something bent. don't see why bending it back would be a problem

   yes he can be serious, standard practice unless you want to cut the hinge off and re-weld it

   think its been in a bump and had a new door, as coulours arent 100% perfect match , in the dark the door is a little darker
